Simmons measured in at 6-4 1/4, 315 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash between 5.19-5.26. He was timed at 4.75 in the short shuttle, 7.61 in the 3-cone and posted a 28" vertical jump and a 8-10" broad jump.

Saw action in all 14 games as a reserve â€¦ worked at both left and right guard â€¦ started in games against Chattanooga and TCU â€¦ led all reserve lineman with 50 knockdown blocks and 421 plays â€¦ had 10 knockdowns against TCU.

He is from Raleigh so I'm aware of the story, but he didn't go to high school here so don't have much on his football background (not even sure he played OL in high school). Seems to be a solid guy with a strong desire to succeed. Seems to have made positive impressions in his limited time at OU. Unless there is some physical reason that is holding him back, sounds like an ideal guy to give to Scar for some development.

Oklahoma's starter at left guard before suffering an injury against Baylor ... missed five games before returning to the starting lineup vs. Texas Tech ... was OU's second-most experienced offensive lineman with 42 games played ... led the team with 14 knockdowns against Miami and 12 against Oklahoma State.

Could be a cool story. Surprised we haven't heard more on this. Will have to watch closely Thursday night.

they might want to rebreak his footto try to straighten it. Or maybe he'll just want to leave well enough alone.

Not that I know anything about this disability, but I would say since he has been preforming at a high level athletically into his early 20's, I would think they would just leave it alone at this point.

It also depends upon just how severe the deformity is. If it's a mild case, and he's playing well with it, then it shouldn't require any treatment unless it's becoming worse, or affecting some other part of his leg, hip joint, etc.

Says in the article that they've broken his foot and tried to re-set it 16 times. Sounds like he's probably being left alone, but not for lack of trying.
